Yeah, Jays lost. It was a fun game though. The stadium held about 4,000-5,000 people and almost every seat was full. There were lots of Canadians and of course, Atlanta isn't all that far so Braves fans as well. It's good to see a real sport, even though it's still pro, it just felt more like "real" baseball. Some of the fans are obviously regulars. Snowbirds, I'm betting, that fill their days with season tickets to the pre-season games. Thank goodness I thought to bring caps, but I still got too much sun on my shoulders.
The last two days we have just been checking out the area. This peninsula-type area that we are in is pretty much defined by St. Petersburg in the south, Clearwater in the north, Largo to the west, Tampa to the east. Of course, you have to go across one of the bridges to get to Tampa. We hit the beach at Sand Key yesterday. The beach area was large, but not as nice and clean as we have become accustomed to on the Atantic side. The water line was full of vegetation that washed up, oh, and I actually got a piece of sponge! The "sand" was far more crushed shells than sand. We've been spoiled!!
After the big rain we got on Friday, the last two days have been absolutely delightful. Tonight is our last night in St. Petersburg, tomorrow we are off to the north - Perry or Tallahassee.
